I would ask all of you to remember in your prayers LCpl Jimmy McMurdo killed when his CAP unit was overrun in June 1967 and Lt. Spivey shot by a sniper about the same time and Maj Larry Bagwell, killed in a training crash near Black Star mountain in California in 1968 and Lt Bob Trigalet, killed when his helicopter collided with another helicopter over the DMZ in 1969.

They were friends of mine and I miss them.

Every time I look at my kids and pictures of my dad and mom, I remember. Missing friends, people we’ve known, folks we worked with and those that we miss. I went to my granddaughters high school graduation Saturday and met a tincan sailor (Fletcher) class. Me, I’m an old submarine sailor, he was a sonar tech. Served same time, different oceans. 60’s/70’s. I told my wife, go figure, we were on each side of his headset. One searching, one avoiding. Both of us chasing Ivan. The reason we have and had great soldiers is because God loves us. I pray he never quits. Stay safe all.
